Foreign Office failed to treat Harry Dunn's death as crisis, damning report finds

"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."

"The Foreign Office failed to treat as a crisis the case of a US woman who fled the country claiming diplomatic immunity after causing the death of a British teenager in a road crash, an independent review has concluded. Failures and omissions were made in handling matters after the death of Harry Dunn, and opportunities to influence the US were lost, the government has been told."

The Independent emphasizes coverage of issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, citing investigations like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and the documentary 'The A Word'. The outlet promotes donations to fund on-the-ground reporting, avoids paywalls, and asks supporters to help maintain reporting that addresses both sides of stories. An independent review found the Foreign Office did not treat the Anne Sacoolas case as a crisis after she fled the UK claiming diplomatic immunity following a 2019 crash that killed 19-year-old Harry Dunn. The review identified failures and omissions and said opportunities to influence the US were lost.
